2015 FIAT DUCATO steering wheel

The front ring is located in the tool box
beneath the passenger side seat. On
versions with Fix&Go kit and without
spare wheel, the tool box is available
only on request for versions/markets
where provided.In the absence of the tool box the
vehicle front tow hook is housed in the
on-board documentation container,
together with the Owner Handbook.
To use it, proceed as follows:
❒Open the flap A and remove it as
illustrated in fig. 236;
❒turn retaining knob B fig. 236
anticlockwise and remove it to allow
the box fig. 237 to come out;
❒take the screwdriver provided from
the box and prise up at the point
shown to raise the cap C fig. 239;
❒take the tow ring D from the box and
screw it onto the threaded pin fig.
239.
The rear ring B fig. 240 is located at the
point shown in the diagram.
WARNING
176) Screw on the tow hook and
check that it stops at the end
of travel position.
177) Before towing, switch off the
steering lock (see "Starting
device" paragraph under the
"Knowing your car" section).
178) Remember that the brake servo
and the electric power steering
are not available during towing
operations. Significantly greater
force must be exerted on the
brake pedal and on the steering
wheel to operate them.
179) Do not use flexible cables for
towing and avoid jerking. During
towing operations, make sure that
the fastened joint does not
damage adjoining components.

IN AN EMERGENCY

❒check that the fluid level is up to the
MAX mark on the dipstick attached
to the reservoir cap F fig. 241 -
fig. 242 - fig. 243 - fig. 244 (use the
level shown on the 20°C side of
the dipstick to check when cold).
If the level of the fluid in the tank is
lower than the specified level, top up
using only one of the products
indicated in the "Fluid and lubricants"
table in the "Technical specifications"
section, proceeding as follows:
❒Start the engine and wait for the fluid
level in the tank to stabilise.
❒With the engine running, turn the
steering wheel from right to left
fully several times.
❒Top up the fuel to the MAX level and
then retighten the cap.

to remove the telescopic funnel fig.
246.IMPORTANT Before opening the cap,
make sure it is correctly oriented (as
illustrated in fig. 246) to prevent it from
being damaged and interfering with
the adjacent mechanical parts.
Otherwise, turn it until it reaches the
correct position.Fill according to the following
instructions:
Use a mixture of water and TUTELA
PROFESSIONAL SC 35, in the
following concentrations:
30% TUTELA PROFESSIONAL SC 35

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

WHEELS AND TYRES
Check the pressure of each tyre,
including the space-saver wheel,
approximately every two weeks and
before long journeys: the pressure
should be checked with the tyre rested
and cold.
It is normal for the pressure to increase
when the vehicle is used; for the correct
tyre inflation pressure, see “Wheels” in
the “Technical specifications” section.
Incorrect pressure causes abnormal
tyre wear fig. 249:
Anormal pressure: tread evenly worn;
Blow pressure: tread particularly worn
at the edges;
Chigh pressure: tread particularly worn
in the centre.
The tyres must be replaced when the
tread is less than 1.6 mm thick. In
any case, follow the laws in force in the
country you are in.

IMPORTANT
INFORMATION
❒As far as possible, avoid sharp
braking and screech starts. Be
careful not to hit the kerb, potholes or
other hard obstacles. Driving for
long stretches over uneven roads can
damage the tyres;
❒periodically check that the tyres have
no cuts in the side wall, abnormal
swelling or irregular tyre wear.
Contact a Fiat Dealership if required;
❒avoid overloading the car when
travelling: this may cause serious
damage to the wheels and tyres;
❒if a tyre is punctured, stop
immediately and change it to avoid
damage to the tyre, the rim,
suspensions and steering system;❒tyres age even if they are not used a
great deal. Cracks in the tread and
on the side walls are a sign of ageing.
In any event, have the tyres checked
by specialised personnel if they
have been fitted for longer than 6
years. Remember to check the spare
wheel very carefully;
❒in the case of replacement, always fit
new tyres, avoiding those of
unknown origin;
❒if a tyre is changed, also change the
inflation valve;
❒to allow even wear between the front
and rear tyres, it is advisable to
change them over every 10–15
thousand kilometres, keeping them
on the same side of the vehicle so as
not to reverse the direction of
rotation.
IMPORTANT Replacing a tyre, check
that the tyre pressure monitoring
(TPMS) sensor is also taken from the
previous rim, together with the valve.

SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE

INTERIORS
Regularly check that water is not
trapped under the mats (due to water
dripping off shoes, umbrellas, etc.),
as this could cause oxidation of the
sheet metal.
203) 204)
SEATS AND FABRIC
PARTS
Remove dust with a soft brush or a
vacuum cleaner. It is advisable to use a
moist brush on velvet upholstery.
Rub the seats with a sponge moistened
with a solution of water and mild soap.
PLASTIC PARTS
It is advisable to clean interior parts with
a moist cloth and a solution of water
and non-abrasive mild soap. Use
specific products for cleaning plastic,
without solvents and specifically
designed to prevent damage to the
appearance and colour of the treated
parts, to remove grease and tough
stains.
IMPORTANT Do not use alcohol,
petrols or derivatives to clean
the instrument panel glass.LEATHER STEERING
WHEEL/GEAR
KNOB/HANDBRAKE
(for versions/markets, where provided)
These components must be cleaned
with mild soap and water only. Never
use alcohol or alcohol-based products.
Read the product label carefully before
using specific products for cleaning
the interiors: make sure that the
product does not contain spirits or
alcohol-based substances.
If, when cleaning the windscreen with
special products, window cleaner
accidentally drips onto the leather of
the steering wheel/gear lever
knob/handbrake, wipe away
immediately and then wash the affected
area with mild soap and water.
IMPORTANT Be careful when using a
steering wheel lock device, where
applicable, to avoid damaging
the leather upholstery by rubbing.
WARNING
203) Never use flammable products,
such as petroleum ether or
modified petrol, to clean the
inside of the vehicle. The
electrostatic charges which are
generated by rubbing during
the cleaning operation may cause
a fire.
204) Do not keep aerosol cans in the
vehicle: they might explode.
Aerosol cans must not be exposed
to a temperature exceeding 50°C.
When the vehicle is exposed to
sunlight, the internal temperature
can greatly exceed this value.
